Great little website for young chemists

So I came across this website a few months back, and just absolutely fell in love with it; I'm a chem major, and so I feel like this website will definitely catch the eye of those that are really planning on going into the field of chemistry.

Awww...I was looking as my eight year old is a budding chemist...I can't seem to find all the old now illegal awesome chemistry sets we had as kids.

Erm ... I think you just forgot to put any content because the only thing that I currently see is a blank page.

SUPER ... MANY THANKS!!!!!!

S&F for this usefull information

Fantastic link... in fact, I think this may even be useful for me (I'm studying chem for the first time at uni and kind of struggling)

S & F!

For young chemists interested in 3D representations of molecular structures and virology imaging free software, here are a couple of links to various imaging software and tutorials. Sometimes seeing and manipulating the very building blocks chemical compounds and complex virus structure can increase the interest in the field of study.

Here, the VDM Visual Molecular Dynamics software source page is a good place to start.

This Viper PDB upload source is an easy to work full screen 3D modeling source, just hit the STRAP button near the virus image and things launch themselves.

This UCSF Chimera software I have yet to examine but it looks to provide a different and detailed visualization means.


While working 3D programs for over a decade, I always found it difficult to 'build' cellular and molecular models and just this week I started to examine these sources for actual projects I'm working on visual support on. Enjoy!

Whoa. Thank you for those links. My little man is enthralled.
